“It’s noticing what you really actually care about and then from care it goes to conviction. What do you have a conviction about? And from conviction, you can see how deep it goes.”
“The more we understand our manifestos or what exactly are our beliefs we deeply care about, it can serve as a guiding light for the direction in the next chapter of our life.”
“You want to use your manifesto to solve problems in your future based on things you’ve learned in your past.”
“It’s easy to go to events. It’s hard to build relationships on the follow-through side.”
“If you are mad about something, that’s a perfect time. What do you do when you are angry? What a great time to block some time for a manifesto!”
